the american government perceives that it's possible we may be able to entice the morsi government, the new government, whatever it happens to be, into continuing a policy of being an assistant to peace in the middle east rather than being obstructionist and we'll do that by giving them $2 billion to $3 billion in assistance. a lot of that is going to take the form of military aid. there are fairly close relationships between the american military and the egyptian military. we are hoping that that will survive this constitution. >> last but not least, over the weekend on subpoenaed, a syrian jet bombing a bakery killing dozens of people after waiting in line just to get bread. the frez and the u.n. has still not been able to remove president bashir al assad after months and months of in-country conflict there. what can the president do. not only from a standpoint of the white house, but from an international coalition to look at getting bashir al assad out? >> i mean, we've been working on it for quite some time. we didn't want to get militarily involved. we've seen what happens when we

all of them mean we have less revenue to support the operations of government, so if going forward we're going to reach a balance, where we both cut spending and raise revenue, we have to achieve the right balance of those, so if there are folks in the other party, the republican party, who feel strongly that we should not allow income tax breaks of the last decade to continue, that's fine. i think they simply need to be willing to balance that with some of the democratic priorities like extending unemployment insurance benefits for nearly 2 million unemployed americans who will lose them tomorrow. >> thank you senator chris coons for joining us. >> thank you. >> coming up, former president george h.w. bush is out of icu, and the how the oak ridge boys may have helped lift his spirits. >>> and with less than 30 hours to go before the fiscal cliff, we're watching capitol hill for any kinds of a deal today. you're watching msnbc, the place for politics. mine was earned off vietnam in 1968. over the south pacific in 1943. i got mine in iraq, 2003. usaa auto insurance is often handed down fr
